Description
Pat O�Brien�s has been a landmark bar in New Orleans since 1933. Located on Bourbon Street, they are famous for their signature drink, �The Hurricane.� When the streets are steamy in New Orleans, there is no better place to sit down for a cold drink than Pat O�Brien�s.
Originally a speak-easy, Pat O�Brien�s went legitimate after prohibition in 1933. Originally located at 633 N. St. Peters street, the bar moved once they realized that had outgrown their location.
Due to supply issues in the 1940�s with Whiskey, Bourbon and Scotch, bar owners were required to purchase 50 cases of Rum in addition to their regular Whiskey, Bourbon and Scotch orders. Through experimentation, they found the perfect mixture of rum and other ingredients and named the drink �The Hurricane.� Now, Pat O�Brien�s is famous for their signature Hurricane served in a Hurricane glass of course!
